Quoting for work in South Street
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Mastic sealing in South Street, done properly
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. The enquiries we see most involve leaks at window and door perimeters and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, across balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in South Street is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In a London area such as South Street, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in South Street

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
South Street: questions and answers
We manage a building near Oxted station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you take on jobs in South Street where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work in South Street?
Yes. Sites across South Street are covered.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in South Street starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
For owners and agents in South Street
London blocks come with residents to inform, access to agree and often a concierge or estate office to work with. We plan around the notices and access you arrange.
Older community buildings, Church of St Mary the Virgin among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Oxted station, 3.7 miles to the south-west of South Street, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
South Street is about 4 miles north-east of Oxted, in Greater London. Our applicators travel to South Street for work on mastic joints. South Street is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for mastic joints. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 15 miles away.

Common problems we fix in South Street
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
Historic properties like Titsey Place (2.1 miles south-west of South Street) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
What to look for in a quote

- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
